A.N. — August is apparently the month of characters from MHA arcade games! Besides the three Volcano Thieves, there's also this villain. She had her basis in Horikoshi's previous manga, Oumagadoki Zoo, so I chose to examine her pre-villainous beginnings. Happy birthday to the Zookeeper, a baddie only 'cause of brainwashing.
229. Zookeeper
Besides Wash, the Zookeeper couldn't think of anyone else with a quirk like hers that became a pro hero. She was content being a hero for her animals, though.
Scrubbing down exhibit enclosures wasn't glamorous by any means, but the Zookeeper found the work more fulfilling than cleaning up after her fellow, selfish, humans. The populace as a whole seemed to have gotten used to having heroes do all the difficult tasks. Limelight pros would never lower themselves to doing menial labor, but the Zookeeper got satisfaction out of putting her head down and scouring the floor till it sparkled.
